You should keep this card with your passport until you leave as this is evidence of your legal entry into Israel and may be required particularly at checkpoints, and at any crossing points into the West Bank. Citizens of the US, EU, Russia, Japan and most western countries are issued a free 3-month tourist visa upon arrival which may be extended by applying at a Israeli Ministry of Interior office. Visitors from most other countries require a visa in advance.
Citizens of most Arab and predominantly Muslim countries can individually apply for a visa but it is difficult to obtain one in practice. The most commonly issued visas for these travellers is through organized tour groups, and the application is often handled by Palestinian tour operators based in East Jerusalem.
For specific visa guidelines, check the information provided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Tel Aviv is an Israeli city 37 miles from Jerusalem. I would recommend using the service taxi for cost, timing and safety reasons. The service taxi is a taxi that transports between 10 — 15 passengers directly from the airport to their hotel door. The company that operates it is called Nesher and they charge approximately 60 — 70 shekels from Tel Aviv to hotels in Jerusalem.
The journey takes approximately 1 hour. Buses are the cheapest option — but as Tel Aviv is an Israeli city, a Muslim traveller may feel uncomfortable using such service as all the passengers will inevitably be Israeli. Private taxis are the fastest option but will cost in the region of around shekels. Since the journey is only slightly quicker than the service taxi, it is not recommended unless timing is essential. A service taxi costs approximately shekels and a private taxi is negotiable and will cost around shekels.
The journey takes approximately 45 minutes. Buses to the main Palestinian cities depart from two bus stations near Damascus Gate in East Jerusalem. The buses depart regularly and usually operate between 6am — 7pm, although often there is no formal schedule in place. There are two types of bus: blue and green. The green buses travel to Ramallah, Nablus and the northern villages, and depart from the bus station on Nablus Road approximately m north of the blue bus station next to the Garden Tomb.
Taxis are widely available in all Palestinian cities. Fares are negotiable. West Bank blue and green license plates are not permitted to enter Jerusalem. If the driver declines it is easy to transfer to a Palestinian taxi at the checkpoint. Please visit www. If you are looking for a small hotel in the Old City, then Hashimi Hotel and Hostel is often recommended due to its location very close to Al Masjid Al Aqsa less than 5 mins walk , and its reasonable pricing.
It also is known for having a great view from its restaurant. I have personally stayed at the National Hotel which is located approx. Pricing was v reasonable. I am also happy to recommend the Golden Walls Hotel which is located approx. Most importantly — please make sure that you stay at an Arab owned hotel, so that the money supports the local Palestinians. Ranked No.
